Sometimes, especia...Thanks for stopping by, Sherry. Sometimes, especially in TV shows, the writers will try new characters to see how the audience likes them. Sometimes the character helps turn the plot or add mystery, suspense. In the caes of Godric in True Blood, he was not a trouble maker or a one night stand. He's a very important, powerful character, the Sheriff of Dallas, king of vampires. He's a 2000 year old vampire, meaning that he is very powerful. Most importantly is the insight Godric gave us into Eric's character. Eric is the Sheriff of Area 5, the Bon Temps vampire king (he's a former Viking). Godric's character showed us more of Eric's past(Godric is Eric's maker/the vamp who turned Eric into a vamp) and helped to drive the plot full speed ahead when he decided to take his own life. Harris used Godric as another example of a vampire concerned with humanity (her central theme throughout)and his death also showed us a sweeter, gentler side of Eric who is often seen as brutal. Next time you notice a minor character showing up in a book or tv show, ask yourself why. <br /><br />Thanks again for commenting. You're entered into the drawing for any of my ebooks. <br /><br />Have a great day, <br />AlishaAlishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03344425510934073606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419252667281484963.post-80750916959056436082010-07-20T20:31:09.996-05:002010-07-20T20:31:09.996-05:00I haven't ever read any of this series and I&#...I haven't ever read any of this series and I've not watched any of the shows. But sometime I think in TV shows and in books when you introduce someone as a trouble maker or maybe just a one night stand that after that's done with they just don't fit in with the rest of the show or book.<br /><br />sstrode@scrtc.comSherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113368398550173018noreply@blogger.com
